I pre-booked a reservation as we decided to bring my dad here for his birthday. Upon arriving, we were shown to our lanes and our server came by shortly after. After placing our orders for numerous pizzas, appetizers, and drinks things started to go downhill from here. We had to wait quite a while for our food (which wasn’t that big of a deal) assuming it came out hot. Most of the food wasn’t hot and our server didn’t check in on us for almost the entirety of our visit. This was odd since the place was never more than 30% occupied while we were there. Besides there terrible and overpriced food, our lane time was cut short due to a miscommunication so we had to leave early. I called back the next day to discuss the issues with management and spoke to Blake, who stated he was the general manager. From the beginning, Blake had a condescending attitude and seemed to be more concerned with arguing instead of trying to rectify the situation. As I stated, I was not looking for a complete refund, just a partial amount for what I was overcharged (lane fees) as well as the food, which we barely ate. Ultimately, there was no resolution and an event was ruined. I will never visit again and I recommend you spend your money elsewhere. It’s too bad as this place has potential, BUT they need better food, better service, and NEW management.

Great spot for a fun night out! The atmosphere is stylish and relaxed, and the bowling lanes are well-maintained. The food and drinks were good, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. It’s a little pricier than your average bowling alley, but totally worth it for the experience. Would definitely come back!

Celebrated my sisters win for being a para professional working with special education. There was a bit of a problem with the redemption with the leave reservation. Mananger Travis Howell talked to me and he made it right, which I greatly appreciate! We had a wonderful time! Food and drinks were tasty and service from employee #3002 was great! Sorry didn't remember his name so that's what the receipt says.

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon to take advantage of the $10/hr special (Mon-Fri before 4:00pm - price includes shoes; normally $40). Parked in the free garage across the street. Walked in and was immediately assisted with getting a lane. I loved the unique ambiance inside this alley - rustic yet upscale feel. Very clean. Great music. Comfortable seating. It wasn't crowded but there were other bowlers there. I really appreciated that bowlers were spaced out and not assigned side-by-side lanes. I didn't get any food/beverages but there was a server nearby that was friendly and accessible had I needed anything. There's also a large bar in an adjacent room.
